Clint Capela, C, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $7,900

After an embarrassing loss to the Atlanta Hawks last night, the Washington Wizards will look to regroup and bounce back. It's not going to be an easy task as they head to Texas to face Clint Capela and the Houston Rockets.

The Wizards have struggled defending big men all season, which was evident if you watched both John Collins and Dewayne Dedmon both double-double against them last night. They've given up the seventh-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers over their past 15 games, which doesn't bode well when facing a guy in Capela who has already torched them for 46.5 DraftKings points when the teams met earlier this season.

Capela is averaging career highs in points (17.2), rebounds (11.7), assists (1.4), blocks, (2.1), and minutes (33.8). He's been nothing less than a force on the court, and our models don't see that changing tonight. We project him for 40.1 DraftKings points with upside of 59.7.
